Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the precautions and policies of the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) in the preearthquake period for disadvantaged groups that may be affected by earthquakes. One out of five students in Turkey was affected by the February 6, 2023, earthquake in the country. In terms of the education system, the earthquake caused psychological problems, difficulty accessing education, and economic issues. MoNE has not provided inclusive training for teachers for the education of children directly affected by earthquakes in the last five years. There is a teacher module for inclusive education for children affected by disasters, but there is no educational content for students directly affected by the earthquake.

Keywords
